Tech Tools for Teachers

Content curation is the process of finding, evaluating/fitlering, and redistributing content. In education, this could be a teacher subscribing to blogs and other content feed related to her class, and then selecting the most relevant content to share with her students. However, the key difference between simply aggregating content for your students and curating content for your students, is contextualizing the content and engaging your students around the content, e.g. through comment blocks, discussions, assignments, etc.
